          - Go to the [App Store](https://seller.xola.app/apps/).

- **Enable Waivers for Your Products** 
    - To assign Smartwaivers to your products: 
          - Go to **[Customers \> Digital Waivers](https://seller.xola.app/customers/digitalWaivers)** in Xola.
          - Click the **![36497010275611](https://support.xola.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported%20sitepage%20images/36497010275611.png?width=161&height=30&name=36497010275611.png)** button to access waiver settings.
          - Select the products you want to link to Smartwaiver.
          - Click **Save**.

Once enabled, your guests will automatically receive a link to the waiver in their **confirmation email** after placing a reservation. When the waiver is signed, it’s automatically attached to the customer’s reservation in Xola.

---

### How it Works

After setup:

- Each product in Xola can be connected to a **specific Smartwaiver template**.
- When a guest makes a reservation, their **reservation confirmation email** will include a unique link to sign the associated waiver.
- Guests who haven’t signed the waiver will be flagged in the [Xola Roster](https://support.xola.com/xola-roster?hsLang=en).
- Once a guest completes the waiver, their signed waiver appears [directly in Xola, attached to their reservation](https://support.xola.com/purchases-tab?hsLang=en).

A few key details:

- - Waivers are **matched to participants by name and email**.
    - If multiple people are reserved under one name, one guest can sign for multiple participants (based on your Smartwaiver settings).

---

### Tips for Success

- - **Match waiver templates to products**: Be sure each tour or activity has the correct waiver assigned. This prevents confusion for guests and staff.
    - **Encourage waivers pre-arrival**: Use confirmation and reminder emails to prompt guests to sign before they arrive. You can set this up in [Xola Settings](https://support.xola.com/xola-settings-?hsLang=en).
    - **Keep waivers updated**: If you update your waiver in Smartwaiver, double-check the integration still points to the correct template.
    - **Test the flow**: Do a test reservation to see how the waiver appears to guests and how it's tracked in Xola. It’s the best way to ensure a smooth experience.
